      Other brands have massive restrictions and many variables to consider when creating standard cars. They have to make them safe, economical, attractive looking, etc etc but most importantly, affordable; contrary to what you're saying, they do all this whilst constantly improving what's on offer compare a Ford, BMW, or VW from now and 20, or even 10 years ago and they have come on leaps and bounds. Christian is not bound by these restrictions. I'm not taking anything away from Christian, I'm just saying you can't really compare a hypercar company with your average car manufacturer.

      Though it may not be as economical with it's twin turbo v8 as say a prius, every car they make is also tuned to run on bio fuel.
      As for safety, they always try to get their cars homologated for every country and standard. And the carbon fibre monocoque is a lot more sturdy than you'd think (though it would be a shame to crash it).

At this rate, the latest Huracan will still be a thing in 2060 and McLaren will still be using the same old V8 and the same headlights in their 965 LT maybe. Ferrari was using the 458 platform till the F8. None of these companies make their own gearboxes, they have specialist companies doing that for them. But those companies too haven't invented anything new since the Dual Clutch transmission arrived.

    There are hypercars and then there are Koenigseggs...These are always accompanied with a new monumental feat of engineering to showcase.

      Wrong decision, being a hypercar doesn't mean only speed, it's about the quality, the design, the engine, the stability.. Koenigsegg makes light weight cars with a maxed out V8. the Agera had a good looking exterior but Jesko?!? Wth!? It looks so ugly af.. No doubt Koenigsegg makes good cars and I have respect for Christian Von Koenigsegg but it doesn't make Koenigsegg any better than Bugatti. if Bugatti wanted to make just fast cars, they would have reduced the weight and quality of the chassis and everything and could have crossed 350 mph. Bugatti is an epitome of Hypercars , it defines what a hypercar is..
      Edit: I grew up.,Koenigsegg makes really fast, beautiful and mouth watery cars. I used to hate a bit on Koenigsegg but now i don't. I love Koenigsegg. Specially the AGERA RS and the REGERA. those are real beauties. I mean you can literally jerk off to those two beauties. Now Bugatti. Let's talk about Bugatti. So Bugatti is still my fav Hypercar brand and I'll simply not put a Bugatti against a Koenigsegg because "If comparable, It's no longer a Bugatti". 🗿 Peace

    Well thanks for those shots of the speedometer. I can now say that based on the gear ratios and a reasonable assumption of the final drive, the top speeds in each gear are :
    Gear No - Vmax (mph)
    1st - 48.1
    2nd - 62.2
    3rd - 79
    4th - 100.9
    5th - 130.7
    6th - 165.6
    7th - 272.5
    9th - 345.5
    It makes sense considering you'd want great 0-60 mph, 0-100 mph, 0-125 mph and a top speed possibly exceeding 333 mph (in Nevada in the 10% thinner air it could in theory reach 340 mph+ on the downhill run). This matches well with the speeds and rpms shown in the speedo.
